That people have to resort to such creative contortions is a testament to what a shit pile CSS is.

CSS is perfectly fine for what it was designed for. Unfortunately, when it was being designed, tables were still viewed as perfectly acceptable for layout, and as far as I can tell, CSS didn't really aim to replace it. It seems to me that it was us OCD designers that wanted semantic markup who adopted CSS for layout, where sane people would use tables.

(EDIT: I should probably clarify that this is 100% speculation, and based in no way on having read anything published by the W3C or anything like that.)

Right now, everything sucks.

Tables ain't done 'til IE6 won't run!
